grievance #2: asana doesn't use query params to store your filter settings, so you can't bookmark a specific view without clicking "save view" which persists the settings for everyone. It also means navigating backwards loses your settings.

I think I/the world would get more benefit from decentralized reddit/forums than decentralized twitter. I wonder if you could do a reddit-style thing over the at protocol. maybe each subreddit is a unique account, and you submit posts by mentioning that account? etc
